I'm looking to close out August with a big push in mileage. If I can squeak out another 18 miles in the next three days, I will have 124 miles for the month. That would mean I increased my average to 4 miles per day. The weather here is very iffy for the next three days, but I think I can do it if Danny doesn't turn west. Getting in a 10 miler tomorrow or Sunday would be huge.

As of today, I'm on pace to match my best mileage year ever and I'd really like to break that record. If I can accumulate 1425 miles, that would do it, but I'd really like to get to 1460. I currently am averaging 3.9 miles per day, and to get to 1460, I need to average 4.2 for the last 125 days. How hard can it be to add .3 miles to every run?

About the Blog

I'm a pathetically inconsistent runner who needs accountability. So here it is - I've challenged myself to a running streak of 1000 straight days. The flu won my first attempt that ended at 364 days, but I'm back at it for 2009. Well, that was the case anyway. In 2011, I accomplished my goal and have run right on past it. In 2012, I start my 4th year of running everyday. while I don't post here as frequently as I have in the past, you can still follow me on Twitter or over at Dailymile Drop by and say hello and I'll occasionally come back here and update the site.
